Iago convinces Roderigo that Cassio is in love with Desdemona by manipulating their perceptions and exploiting Roderigo's jealousy. He suggests that Cassio's charm and good looks make him an attractive suitor for Desdemona, thereby fueling Roderigo's insecurities. Iago further stokes Roderigo's desire for Desdemona by falsely portraying Cassio's interactions with her as romantic, reinforcing Roderigo's belief that he must take action to win her back. This deception is a key element of Iago's broader scheme to incite chaos and manipulate those around him.
