he was upset that Othello promoted Cassio, instead of him, because Iago is of lower class. so Iago basically hates the whole system because he has no chance of climbing up the social ladder by hard work. all he wants is revenge. but maybe hes just crazy.

Iago was motivated by jealousy, manipulation, and a desire for revenge. His cruelty stemmed from his own insecurities and a lack of moral conscience, leading him to sabotage those around him in a quest for power and control.
