Othello is safe from this villain. Othello holds Iago to be his close friend and advisor. He believes Iago to be a person, 'of exceeding honesty, [who] knows all qualities, with learned spirit of human dealings.' [Act III, Scene III, Line 257] Yes, he does know all about human dealings, but no he is not honest. He uses the trust Othello puts in him to turn Othello eventually into a jealous man, capable of murder.
