= Solution

The $\pi$-Bayes risk is
$$
r_\pi(\delta)=\int R(\delta,\theta)\,\pi(d\theta).
$$
Conditioning on the observation and applying Tonelli gives
$$
r_\pi(\delta)=\mathbb E_{X}\left[
\mathbb E\{L(\delta(X),\theta)\mid X\}
\right].
$$
\b[Thus choosing, for every observed $x$, an action minimizing the posterior expected loss minimizes each integrand and hence minimizes the Bayes risk.]
