No thank you.
He will persuade Othello that his wife is unfaithful, thus wrecking their happy marriage, making Othello miserable, and inducing him to become a murderer.
An explanation. He doesn't get one though.
They want Desdemona's father, Brabantio, to come out and kill Othello, because they know that Desdemona and Othello are getting illegally wedded. Iago hates Othello and wants him dead because Cassio gave Othello a position in the military that Iago believed he deserved.
Read Othello.
Iago seeks revenge on Othello primarily due to feelings of betrayal and jealousy. He is resentful because Othello promoted Cassio to lieutenant over him, despite Iago's loyalty and experience. Additionally, Iago suspects that Othello has been involved with his wife, Emilia, which fuels his desire for vengeance. This combination of personal grievances drives Iago to manipulate and destroy Othello's life.
Cassio
Roderigo wants to help Iago discredit Othello primarily out of his infatuation with Desdemona, Othello's wife. He believes that by undermining Othello, he can create an opportunity to win Desdemona's affection for himself. Roderigo is also manipulated by Iago, who exploits his desires and naivety, making him an unwitting accomplice in Iago's schemes against Othello. This misguided loyalty to Iago blinds Roderigo to the latter's true intentions.
