Would have Othello killed Desdemona without all of Iago's lies?

No, almost certainly not. Desdemona was a loving and true wife and would not have given Othello any reason to kill her. And Othello was basically a fair-minded man as the play shows before Iago began to spin his web of deceit. Not only that, but Othello truly loved Desdemona and under normal circumstances would not hurt her. Everyone is shocked when he strikes her in public not only because it is shocking behaviour but also because it is uncharacteristic.
Without Iago it is as likely that Othello would kill Desdemona as it is that she would kill him.

What is iagos master plot to annoy Othello and desdemona?
Iago's master plot to annoy Othello and Desdemona, is to tell Desdemona's father that Desdemona has married the Moor (Othello). And also to convince Othello that Desdemona is involved in an affair with Michael Cassio.
What was the result of iagos crafty explanation of cassios fight with roderigo?
Clearly, the answer is in Act 2. Your best plan is to read/watch it. The long term consequence is probably that Cassio gets fired, although the cause-and-effect is difficult to trace.

What is a summary of Othello?
Othello is a General that lives in Italy(Venice), but is a Moor. Traditionally that means he is black while everyone else is white. He is very respected and marries on of the leading families daughters. Iago is one of his most trusted lieutenants, but after great victories Othello decides to promote someone else. Iago then begins a scheme to get power. First he brings down his other rivals for power. Then he seeks revenge on Othello. To do so he starts scandals almost on a whim and makes everyone distrust one another. Including Othello and his wife. Side note: Othello has epilepsy and no one must know or they will think him weak or possesed. Iago forces Othello to smother his wife and all of his rivals to die, yet in the end He loses his own life in his web of lies. One of the most Ironic things about Othello is Iago the most wicked liar coins the term (I wear my heart upon my sleeve.) Meaning he does not decieve. Iago makes the top ten most evil fictional villains ever.
