What, according to Churchill in 1946, descended from Stettin to Trieste (4)

I believe the answer is:

iron

(Other definitions for iron that I've seen before include "Very robust" , "Smooth things" , "Magnetic metallic element" , "Press clothes" , "Flatten; element" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
