Iago obtains power by creating emotional turmoil in his commander. Iago's position becomes inconsequential when he can manipulate Othello into a position where he takes control. The success of Iago's mind games afford him a source of power that Othello did not possess. Note, Cassio is nothing more than a tool in Iago's plan.
