Another possible answer is that it hardened the USA people's opinion on USSR 's behavior of expansionist. A supporting evidence is that opinion polled showed that 35% people trusted USSR in 1946. This is to be compared 55% in 1945. Thus this further influenced the containment policy by Harry Truman

Another notes - the phrase "iron curtain" is immature during 1946. Stalin was still pursuing a differentiated policy in Eastern Europe.

Answer

He had a fear of another world war that involves fighting against the communist regime and that the so called iron curtain is blocking some of the countries connection to the western countries because of the communist terror.

What state did Winston churchills iron curtain speech take place?

Winston Churchill made the iron curtain speech at Westminster college in Fulton, Missouri. There is currently a museum dedicated to him and the circumstances surrounding the speech on campus. For the 50th anniversary of the speech there was a black tie dinner attended by several members of his family as well as Margaret Thatcher. I was fortunate enough to sit with her for about ten minutes as we enjoyed two glasses of wine and she lightheartedly compared her own style and public perception to Winston. There is also a restaurant/pub in Fulton named Sir Winston's in honor of that brief moment in history.
