If Cassio kills Roderigo, Iago stands to benefit by further manipulating the situation to his advantage. Roderigo, who is already vulnerable and blindly following Iago's schemes, would be eliminated as a threat or potential whistleblower. Additionally, Iago could use Cassio's involvement in the murder to tarnish his reputation and deepen the rift between Cassio and Othello, thus advancing Iago's overarching plan to create chaos and achieve his own goals.

Why does Iago stab Roderigo in Shakespeare's Othello?

Iago has been systematically conning Roderigo out of his money, saying that he is using it to try to get Desdemona to dump Othello and go for Roderigo instead. Iago knows that Desdemona will never do this, and has been simply pocketing the money. Roderigo is starting to catch on, so Iago feeds him the same line about Cassio and Desdemona having an affair and sets Roderigo on to murder Cassio. His objective is to get rid of both of them. Roderigo does stab Cassio, who Iago takes for dead, so Iago kills Roderigo himself.
