missile submarine in the waters within firing range of lebanon and iran. it is very rare for the u.s. to make such an announcement. but these war ships are seen as not only security backup for israel, but as a deterrent. while this morning it looks like a wider war has been averted, iran itself has still not retaliated for the assassination of a senior hamas leader visiting tehran last month. that seems to be put on hold, as iran decides exactly how to respond, given they have new leadership and they also worry about the implications of a wider war, given u.s. dominance. gio? >> gio: tensions are very high in the region. all right, martha. thank you for your reporting. now the race for the white house, as the trump team packs its schedule this week with events in battleground states. and vice president harris enjoying a post convention boost raising more than $500 million in just over a month.
