That the turks's want to attack Cyprus, but they see that the turks' are trying to confuse them by attacking Rhode first, making them believe that they won't attack Cyprus, but they will because that's just a distraction.

ACT 1 SCENE 3

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.

Desdemona marries Othello at the beginning of the play against her father's will. The two secretly marry.
Cassio and Othello were very close friends before the play.
The Duke sent for Othello to discuss the impending conflict with the Turks, particularly the threat to Cyprus. Othello, a skilled military leader, was summoned to provide his expertise and leadership in defending the island. Additionally, the Duke wanted to address the issue of Othello's marriage to Desdemona, ensuring that their union did not interfere with military matters. This highlights Othello's importance as both a military figure and a respected member of Venetian society.
Cassio is the lieutenant to Othello, the Moorish general in Shakespeare's play "Othello." He is appointed to this position due to his reputation and perceived qualities, which Othello admires. However, Cassio's inexperience in military matters leads to his downfall when he becomes embroiled in a drunken brawl, ultimately jeopardizing his career and relationship with Othello.
