Who does iago suspect of having affairs with his wife?
Iago did, but in such a way that Othello thought that it was his own idea. You know the type of thing: "I'd be the last person to say anything, and I don't believe it myself. It's only that some people might get the idea from the way Desdemona looks at Cassio that there's something going on. Not that I do. You'll have to make up your own mind." Of course Iago does it much better.
How did Iago's plot destroy Othello's peace of mind?
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.
How does Iago get Othello to self destruct?
Iago suggests to Othello by counter-suggestion that his wife is having an affair with his lieutenant Cassio.
What is Iago saying Cassio's dream is?
Iago says that he was sleeping next to Cassio and that Cassio was having a dream about making love to Desdemona.
Why didnt Iago simply tell Othello right away that Desdemona and Cassio were having an affair?
If Iago had told Othello right out that they were having an affair, Othello might consider that he had a motive for saying so. It would become an issue of "Who is lying? Iago or Desdemona?" and Othello would probably believe Desdemona. But by planting the seed of suspicion and then feeding it by downplaying it, Iago makes sure that Othello is not even aware that it is Iago that is telling him about the supposed affair. He thinks he's finding it out for himself. This way it does not become a credibility issue between Desdemona and Iago.

Is Iago the same character in the book?
If you mean Iago from Othello, he is the standard bearer of General Othello. Iago hates the general and plots to make Othello think his wife is having an affair.
What is Iago saying Cassio's dream is?
Iago says that he was sleeping next to Cassio and that Cassio was having a dream about making love to Desdemona.

He thinks he's finding it out for himself. This way it does not become a credibility issue between Desdemona and Iago.
How does Iago get back in Othello's good graces?
Iago tells Cassio that he must persuade Othello to reinstate him. He says "the general's wife is now our general" and so the best way to persuade Othello is to get Desdemona to plead on Cassio's behalf. Since Iago has also told Othello that Desdemona and Cassio are having an affair, the harder Desdemona pleads, the worse it is going to look for both her and Cassio.
How does iago manipulate cassio after the lieutenant's humiliating dismissal?
He tells him that the best way for him to get his place back is to get Desdemona to plead with Othello, which would probably be good advice if Iago had not at the same time suggested to Othello that Desdemona was having an affair with Cassio. Because of Iago's suggestion, Desdemona's concern for Cassio looks like confirmation of her having an affair with him.
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.
What finally convinces Othello that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair?
When Iago tells Othello Cassio slept with her.
Why did Othello kill Desdemona?
Iago had lied to Othello and convinced him that Desdemona was secretly having sex with Cassio.
