Othello initially contemplates killing Desdemona by suffocating her in their bed, believing it to be a merciful act due to his perceived betrayal. Iago, however, manipulates Othello further by suggesting that he should use a more honorable method, such as stabbing her, to emphasize the severity of her infidelity. This conversation reflects Iago's role in deepening Othello's jealousy and rage while guiding his violent intentions.

Would have Othello killed Desdemona without all of Iago's lies?

No, almost certainly not. Desdemona was a loving and true wife and would not have given Othello any reason to kill her. And Othello was basically a fair-minded man as the play shows before Iago began to spin his web of deceit. Not only that, but Othello truly loved Desdemona and under normal circumstances would not hurt her. Everyone is shocked when he strikes her in public not only because it is shocking behaviour but also because it is uncharacteristic. Without Iago it is as likely that Othello would kill Desdemona as it is that she would kill him.
