We are never completely certain why Iago rages so much against Othello. Iago does drop hints like he was past over for advancement and that Othello had, according to Iago, slept with his wife.

I hate the Moor, And it is thought abroad that ’twixt my sheets He’s done my office. I know not if ’t be true, But I, for mere suspicion in that kind, Will do as if for surety.
