He thought Roderigo already had.
Othello was just out of earshot when Iago talks to Cassio. He has told Othello that he is talking to Cassio about Desdemona but he is really talking about the woman that Cassio is really having an affair with, Bianca. In 'Othello' Iago tricks Othello by planting Desdemona's handkerchief in Cassio's room.
Iago likely doesn't kill Cassio after injuring him because he wants to maintain the appearance of loyalty and innocence. By not finishing Cassio off, he can manipulate the situation to his advantage, allowing Cassio to survive and create further chaos through misinterpretation and deception. Additionally, leaving Cassio alive allows Iago to orchestrate more intricate plots against both Cassio and Othello, ensuring his own schemes remain undetected.
Iago feels that Cassio's promotion should have gone to him. He envies Cassio.
Iago says that he was sleeping next to Cassio and that Cassio was having a dream about making love to Desdemona.
Iago advises Cassio to ask Desdemona to plead on his behalf. This will help Iago poison Othello's mind, as Desdemona will appear to be doing so out of her (illicit) love for Cassio.

No, Cassio did not find out that Iago stabbed Roderigo. In Shakespeare's "Othello," Cassio is injured during a fight orchestrated by Iago but remains unaware of Iago's treachery and manipulation throughout the play. Iago's deceitful actions are concealed from Cassio, who continues to trust him until the tragic conclusion.
Iago is, although he is more likely to get others to do bad things than to do them himself. He does murder Roderigo, after egging him on to kill Cassio. He also induces Othello to murder Desdemona.The villain in Othello is Iago as he twists Othello's mind and gets him to kill Desdemona, steals from Roderigo and kills him, kills Emilia, wounds Cassio and ruins his job.
Iago's plan is to make Cassio drunk and get him into a brawl that will ruin Cassio's reputation and cause him to lose his position. He urges Roderigo to provoke Cassio "to put our Cassio in some action/ that may offend the isle." As usual,Roderigo is duped by Iago's manipulative words and agrees to do this, even though all he ends up with is a sound beating from Cassio. Iago, however, succeeds in getting Cassio dismissed from his lieutenancy to Othello, which plays in toIago's master plan to ruin Othello.
Iago has multiple plans: a plan to cozen Roderigo out of his money in order to make Iago rich, a plan to discredit Cassio so that Iago can get a promotion, a plan to have Cassio and Roderigo kill each other so that there will be nobody to implicate Iago and a plan to get Othello to discredit himself and kill Desdemona because Iago hates them, possibly because they love each other and he has never loved anyone.
Iago has been passed over for a promotion. Cassio got the promotion to Lieutenant even though Iago had more time in service as a soldier. Cassio got the promotion over Iago because his learning included theory and strategy whereas Iago's did not.
Othello said that Iago is such a loyal friend to Cassio that Iago told about the fight in a way that looked better on Cassio. Even so, Othello fires Cassio and understands that Iago did what any friend would do.
Iago had lied to Othello and convinced him that Desdemona was secretly having sex with Cassio.
