Primarily the fact that Iago has suggested to him that that is what is being talked about. By this point, Iago has got Othello into such a state he cannot interpret anything Cassio or Desdemona does as being innocent.

Circumstances set for Othello by Iago combine to defeat Othello?
Iago sets out to trap Othello by several means. He persuades Desdemona to plead for Cassio and persuades Othello that Desdemona pleading for Cassio proves she is in love with him. He steals the handkerchief, persuades Othello that she has given it away to Cassio, then gives it to Cassio himself. He gets lucky as Cassio gives it to Bianca and she returns it in Othello's sight. He talks to Cassio about Bianca, telling Othello who can see (but not hear) that he is talking about Desdemona. All of this circumstantial evidence bolsters the outright lies that Iago tells about Cassio admitting to having an affair with Desdemona.

What does Shakespeare mean when Othello says i understand a fury in your words but not your words?
Othello doesn't say this. Desdemona does. Othello is ranting at her about how she has been unfaithful to him, and she doesn't know what he is talking about. She knows he is angry, she can read his emotion and the "fury in [his] words", but she doesn't know why he is saying what he is saying: "I understand . . . not your words."

As the "ideal" wife: she submits to Othello as opposed to the other women who are quite strong characters. Therefore her supposed infidelity is even more painful for Othello to believe and for the audience to witness the catastrophic events which follow this.
