He told Montano that Cassio was drunk every night. He also casted doubt on Othello's judgment for appointing Cassio, who might be drunk in a moment of crisis.
In Act II Scene 3 Iago tells Montano that Cassio is a drunkard and drinks himself to sleep every night. "'Tis evermore the prologue to his sleep; He'll watch the horloge a double set if drink rock not his cradle." "Horloge" is French for "clock".
Iago wanted to make Othello jealous of Cassio. Had he simply said "Cassio is having an affair with your wife", Othello could have dismissed it as a lie or a mistake. But by saying "I'm sure there is nothing going on between Cassio and your wife" Iago gets Othello to suspect Desdemona and to build up his suspicions on his own.
