If you look at the history this theory seems quite rational. Israel has the most to gain RIGHT NOW, and while others have something to gain too (e.g. Saudi Arabia), they lack Israel's technical prowess.
It is really up to the US, if they want the JCPOA to move forward, to try and corral Israel (or better bring them in so they're fully onboard with JCPOA).
