Seemingly lost in all this Iran BS is they refused to stop developing nukes….

At the time, most opponents of the JCPOA focused largely on three substantive critiques of the agreement. First, the agreement wasn't “comprehensive.” Although it curbed Iranian uranium enrichment, it did not curb Iran's missile program, the likely delivery mechanism for an Iranian nuclear bomb. Nor did the agreement do anything to roll back Iran's vast network of proxy military forces throughout the Middle East that were threatening U.S. forces and allies in the region.

Second, the agreement offered Iran sanctions relief in exchange for its restrictions on Iran's nuclear program. At the time, Iran had tens of billions of dollars sitting in foreign accounts. The JCPOA allowed Iran to tap these funds. Critics of the JCPOA noted that Iran could use this economic relief to nefarious ends, like upping its funding of proxies or other malign activities abroad. At the very least, the release of these funds would help the Iranian regime survive in the face of widespread domestic discontent.

Finally, critics noted (PDF) that even if Iran abided by the agreement (which itself was in doubt), the original JCPOA wasn't a permanent limitation of the Iranian nuclear program, but a pause. The agreement included a sunset clause that meant that key parts of the agreement constraining Iran's enrichment capacity were set to expire in 10 to 15 years. Though the JCPOA required Iran to adhere (PDF) to the Additional Protocol of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and not pursue a nuclear weapon, Iran had also made and withdrawn (PDF) that commitment before. Critics argued that once the JCPOA expired, Iran would be able to drop the Additional Protocol and sprint to develop a nuclear weapon. Consequently, the agreement was not a lasting solution but simply kicked the can down the road.
