The concept of the Iron Curtain symbolized the ideological fighting and physical boundary dividing Europe into two separate areas from the end of World War II in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991.
During the Iron Curtain, Churchill warned that the Communist tyranny was threatening Europe. Truman invited Churchill where he alerted the free world by saying "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the continent

Churchill condemned the Soviet Unions policies in Europe and declared that from Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across Europe. Part of a speech given at Fulton, Missouri, March 1946
The basis behind the "Iron Curtain" can actually be pinned on a speech by Winston Churchill. Considered a jarring and startling speech at the time, the Iron Curtain was a two-fold metaphor. The Soviet Union, a Communist state, had outright occupied an enormous section of the whole of Europe; virtually everything east of Berlin, down to around Turkey and Greece, and the borders of Mongolia and China, were occupied by a regime whose iron handed dictatorship had as much notoriety as the man the Allies just fought to depose: Adolf Hitler. The "Iron Curtain" was named for Stalin's iron handed strategy [Stalin's namesake comes from the Georgian word for steel, or rather the prepositional phrase 'of-steel']. It also was named so for its foreboding aspect, as the Soviet Union's swath across the whole of Europe was with armored columns. The Soviet Union had immense industrial power, and the Soviet's pride in its civilian "army" of industrial workers, made the Iron Curtain analogy appropriate. The "Iron Curtain" in whole, was an analogy by Winston Churchill, which stuck with the West and the civic populace, as it identified their opponent in terms they comprehended well: stark, overbearing, and tyrannical people who sought to depose 'their' freedom: an iron curtain. It made a great label and thus the name was kept.

Russia wanted to own Germany, since it had helped win the war. The democracy allies (Britain, U.S., and France) took up half while Russia took up the other. Soon, many citizens started fleeing to the democracy side. Russia feared it was going to have an economic collapse because of it's infrastructure being lost, so they built the Berlin Wall. The line that separated the Russians from the Democracies was called The Iron Curtain.
Iron is in the blood, so if there is a low percentuage of iron in it, it can cause anemia.
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 TrumanAnother notes - the phrase "iron curtain" is immature during 1946. Stalin was still pursuing a differentiated policy in Eastern Europe.AnswerHe 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.
