One of the big regrets of the arms control community, was that the JCPOA did not contain any limitations on missile development.
With the current arms race with drones, missiles, hypersonic missiles, etc... I think Israel is worried that Iran will begin handing these weapons out to their proxies in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and escalate the war.
Iran's drone strike against Saudi Arabia's top oil refinery really highlighted that.
I think ensuring that no deal is better than the current format of the JCPOA. At least in the current situation, they can strike at Iran's weapons program to slow it down, and that there are no major inflows of money.
Personally, I think they'd be open to a new JCPOA that includes broader weapons controls.
