President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris next week will make their first trip together since Biden ended his candidacy and Harris took over as the Democratic standard-bearer.
The White House announced Friday morning that Biden and Harris will head to Maryland on Aug. 15 for an event to “discuss the progress they are making to lower costs for the American people.” They did not disclose the location or more specifics, said The Associated Press.
Biden and Harris have appeared briefly together since the president ended his reelection bid on July 21, including an excursion to Joint Base Andrews last week to welcome home US citizens who were wrongfully detained in Russia. They also participated in a Situation Room meeting together earlier this week to discuss the situation in the Middle East and had lunch together last week.
Taking additional steps to lower costs is one area Biden wants to focus on in the final months of his presidency.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) navy has new cruise missiles equipped with highly explosive warheads that are undetectable, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Friday.

"A large number of cruise missiles have been added to the Guards' navy fleet. These new missiles have capabilities of highly explosive warheads that are undetectable and can cause extensive damage and sink their targets," Tasnim said.

Regional tensions have increased following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh by a presumed Israeli strike in Tehran a day after an Israeli strike in Beirut killed Fuad Shukr, a senior military commander from Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

Iran has vowed to avenge the July 31 explosion that killed Haniyeh, which was widely blamed on Israel, raising fears of a regional war. Israel has not said whether it was involved.

Hezbollah has also vowed to retaliate against Israel for the strike that killed Shukr in Beirut “no matter the consequences."

"In today's world you either have to be powerful to survive, or surrender. There's no middle ground," said the Guards' top commander, Major-General Hossein Salami.
The Guards' navy also said in a statement that various types of long and medium range missile systems, as well as reconnaissance drones and naval radars, have been added to its fleet.

"These systems are among the most up-to-date anti-surface and sub-surface weapons in the Guards' navy," it said.
State television displayed several of the weapons on Friday. The navy added that only 210 of the 2,654 systems were shown as it was not possible to unveil other strategic ones for security reasons.
