The JCPOA was stupidity on stilts, a deal designed to make Obama look like some kind of international statesman that he never was. It had an expiration date after which all sanctions were lifted and Iran was free to do whatever it wanted.
The JCPOA is the agreement Trump and Israel wish they could have today, but they can't because once you break such an agreement you can never get it back. Iran still complied with it long after Trump and Netanyahu ripped it up. As for the expiration of the agreement, there were ten years to extend the agreement, or negotiate a better agreement, or to reimpose sanctions if Iran violated the JCPOA. The JCPOA didn't grant Iran permission to do whatever it wanted after 10 years. It simply would have expired, with the assumption that there was enough time to extend it or renegotiate it well within the ten year period.
