Why was the iron curtain named like that?
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.

What was the two key points of Winston Churchill's iron curtain speech?
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.

What was the Iron Curtain and what was its purpose?
You should understand that the term Iron Curtain was a metaphor. It was not a physical structure. The Berlin Wall came close to being a literal iron curtain (although it was built mostly of bricks, with barbed wire on top). During the Cold War period (1945 - 1990) the USSR did not want to allow the free passage of people or commerce between eastern Europe which they controlled, and western Europe which NATO controlled. They preferred to control all sources of information within the Soviet empire, and they didn't want outside viewpoints leaking in, which might enable the Soviet population to realize that they actually had a worse standard of living, much less freedom, and a less functional society than that of their global competitor, the Western World. The communist government therefore sealed the borders between these two sections of Europe, and these closed borders became known as the Iron Curtain. Like any curtain, they make it difficult to see what was going on past the curtain, and it was compared to iron because people were actually killed (particularly in Berlin) trying to get across. It was a rather terrible commentary on the supposed communist utopia that they had to work so hard to prevent people from leaving it (a similar situation exists today in North Korea, the Hermit Kingdom, wrapped in its own Iron Curtain).
